Question 1

What is WebP?

Accepted Answer

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. It provides excellent compression with both lossy and lossless options, supports transparency and animation. WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller in size compared to JPEG and PNG at comparable quality.

Question 2

Is this service really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, WebP Converter is completely free. We don't require registration, payment, or subscription. You can convert unlimited images without any restrictions.

Question 3

What formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support conversion of WebP to JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, ICO and back. This covers all the most popular image formats for web and everyday use.

Question 4

Do I need to install any software?

Accepted Answer

No, installation is not required. WebP Converter works entirely in your browser. Just open the website and start converting. The service works on any device with a modern browser.

Question 5

Is it safe to use this service?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely safe. All image processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers. We don't store, view, or share your images with third parties.

Question 6

Where are my files uploaded?

Accepted Answer

Your files are not uploaded anywhere. Conversion happens entirely on your device using browser capabilities. After closing the page, all data is automatically deleted from browser memory.

Question 7

Do you collect user data?

Accepted Answer

We don't collect personal data. We may use anonymous visit statistics to improve the service, but this data is not linked to specific users or their files.

Question 8

Is quality lost during conversion?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the format and settings. When converting to PNG or BMP, quality is fully preserved. When converting to JPG or WebP, you can adjust the quality level. We recommend 80-85% for optimal balance between quality and file size.

Question 9

How do I adjust conversion quality?

Accepted Answer

For JPG and WebP formats, a quality slider is available. Before uploading a file, set the desired quality level from 10% to 100%. Higher values provide better quality but create larger files.

Question 10

Is transparency preserved?

Accepted Answer

Transparency is preserved when converting to formats that support it: PNG and WebP. JPG and BMP don't support transparency — transparent areas will be filled with white color.

Question 11

What is the maximum file size?

Accepted Answer

Limits depend on your browser and available device memory. Usually you can convert files up to several tens of megabytes. For very large files, we recommend using desktop software.

Question 12

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

WebP Converter works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For proper operation, we recommend using the latest browser versions.

Question 13

Does it work on mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the service is fully adapted for mobile devices. You can convert images on your smartphone or tablet just as easily as on a computer.

Question 14

Why doesn't WebP open in older programs?

Accepted Answer

WebP is a relatively new format, and some older programs may not support it. In such cases, convert WebP to JPG or PNG — these formats are supported virtually everywhere.
